'There is absolutely no reason that justifies putting yourself, and potentially other people in this type of danger.'
A GO Train passenger who appeared to ride the side of a train earlier this month is being slammed by Metrolinx for what they’re calling “incredibly dangerous behaviour.”
Shelle Papin said she was taking the train out of Toronto on Feb. 5 at roughly 1:20 p.m. when she spotted the man on the other side of the train doors as it left Burlington station. “I was looking out the window at this point, so I clearly see what this guy did,” she told CTV News Toronto over the phone. “The doors closed, and the train pulled away, and he jumped on to the ledge, you know, that you step on to get into the train…It was moving and he just grabbed the handle.”
“I thought these terrible things, like what if a train comes by and he gets smushed? What if he falls and gets caught as another train comes by?”
